This recipe for corn syrup-based fudge is for “good fudge.” the one devoid of creams or nuts. Use a candy thermometer for the best results since this fudge also doesn’t take any short cuts.

Back in 50’s & 60’s, it was au gratin potatoes, with cut up ham and if desired, green peppers, baked. New England.

I loved this recipe and it was a big hit with our guests as well! The only change I made was to use cubed red potatoes from our US Chef’s Store instead of the hash browns. I felt it would give it a little more texture. I would do exactly the same thing the next time I make it. Delicious!

Delicious, I’d recommend topping with corn flakes and cheese
Gerald Carter
We love this recipe! We use a fresh diced onion and instead of cream of chicken soup we use mushroom soup with a tablespoon of powdered chicken broth. We 3x the recipe for our family.

Delicious and simple! I added fresh, grated onion instead of dried onion flakes; myself and those I shared with LOVED the flavor it added! I also mixed in a little salt, some ground black pepper, and some garlic powder! Broil for a few minutes after it’s cooked through for a crisper top! YUMMY!

Have made this several times. My mother and sister-in-law also make. A favorite. Was invented by a Mormon woman in Utah.
